There is no shortage of information online about protein and various recipes for protein shakes. The problem is, most of what I have seen is geared toward men who are into bodybuilding and looking to bulk up and build muscles. I am looking for protein shakes for women and that is much more difficult to find.

What Makes a Protein Shake Good For Women

There are a number of factors women must consider when deciding what are the best ingredients for a protein shake. While many men do not have a problem with Soy protein, I know plenty of women who try to avoid soy because of its health risks. There is still great debate on the health risks of soy, and it would take a whole different article to explain it, but for now, many women err on the side of caution.

The other popular ingredient in a protein shake for men is whey protein. I try to avoid lactose and I know plenty of women who have the same issue. So, what ingredients are good in a protein shake for women?

Hemp protein is a must. It is packed with nutrients and seems to have no negatives. Rice protein is another popular ingredient in women’s protein shakes. You just want to see lab tests to make sure the rice protein is not high in arsenic.

Mushrooms, The Surprise Ingredient in Protein Shakes

Here is one most women don’t know about – Mushrooms for protein! Mushrooms have so many health benefits, I always try to work them into any shake that I make.

I know what all the ladies out there are asking now…How can I get a protein shake with all these ingredients. You can of course buy Rice Protein, Hemp Protein and various mushrooms and make your own homemade shake. I tend to get a little lazy and go with the 100% Organic Perfect Plant Protein – check it out, it has everything you need to make the Perfect protein shake for women.
